Using a Mobility Scooter at Longleat Festival of Lights?

Hi everyone,
We’re planning a visit to the Longleat Festival of Lights and will be taking my uncle, who uses a mobility scooter for days out, but can walk short distances. Has anyone had experience using a scooter there?
How easy is it to get around the grounds and navigate through the displays?
Are there any specific areas that might be tricky with a scooter?
Would a wheelchair be a better option in terms of accessibility?

We want to make sure he has the best experience without too much hassle. Any tips or advice would be hugely appreciated—especially anything you wish you'd known beforehand! I have not been there in about 10 years!
Thank you!

I think this would be fine. From memory it is mostly all one level, and I think there were small ramps when it wasn’t.

We’ve been this year and I can’t see you’d have any issues with a mobility scooter , it’s well laid out and a one way system with no steps and grass mats where needed .

Hi OP - I used my scooter there a few years ago and it was fine. You have to be careful going round if it's busy but nothing out of the ordinary if you are used to using one. From memory we could park quite near too.

The fact that I can't remember it too well suggests that it was fine as I always remember places where it wasn't IFYSWIM. Have a great time.
